It’s both personal and collective storytelling through flavor.” Explore Wyn Wyn Miami here and see why food lovers are calling
it one of Wynwood’s must-visit spots.
The Dish That Defines
Wyn Wyn
When asked which menu item captures Wyn Wyn’s spirit best, Chef Rodriguez doesn’t hesitate: “The Sticky Wings best capture the spirit of Wyn Wyn. They’re the result of years spent chasing the perfect balance of flavor, yield, crunch, and consistency. What started as a personal obsession evolved into something that reflects both my culinary background and our creative, urban concept.”
The Sticky Wings are more than just a favorite, they’re a statement. Bursting with flavor, a nod to Cuban sour orange, and featuring that crave-worthy crunch, they represent Wyn Wyn’s philosophy: approachable, fun, and elevated all at once.
Chef Amado Rodriguez on Global Street Food Inspiration
Travel has always fueled Chef Rodriguez’s creativity, especially the street food culture he’s experienced abroad.
“Maybe not weird, but I’ve always been inspired by the Mexican street food culture in Southern California. I’d love to recreate baby corn elote—grilled and served elegantly as a side or as a skewer for events, topped with freshly grated Añejo cotija. It’s simple, nostalgic and adaptable to our style.”
This approach—elevating beloved street food while keeping its soul intact—is exactly what makes Wyn Wyn’s menu stand out in Wynwood’s competitive dining scene.
Cuban Roots with a Modern Twist
For Chef Rodriguez, his Cuban and Miami upbringing is the heartbeat of Wyn Wyn’s menu. But he’s not just replicating tradition—he’s reinventing it.
“I’ve always dreamed of elevating Cuban cuisine using global techniques and local ingredients. We make yuca frites in-house, prepared in a non-traditional way that really makes them stand out. You’ll find sour orange running through many of our dishes—something I’ll never stop using. It’s who I am.”
The result? A menu that honors Miami’s diverse palate while surprising diners with unexpected techniques, textures, and flavor combinations.
Mentorship, Miami, and Making a Mark
Chef Rodriguez’s commitment to Miami’s culinary future goes beyond the food itself; it extends into his leadership in the kitchen.
“Growing up in Miami gave me a hunger to prove our culinary scene belongs on the map. That drive fuels how I lead, through mentorship, high standards and constant innovation. If we want to elevate the dining experience, we have to elevate each other first.”
Through guidance and innovation, he’s not only building Wyn Wyn’s reputation but also shaping the next generation of Miami chefs.
